sounds absolutley Annihilated

sounds like you'd be better off using what super s bits are useable on another k10,

sounds like more hassle than the car is worth

aye. tis a good drive admittadly. but it will begetting stripped in time. when the other is ready

Why take a car that is so clearly going to fail to the MOT station?

 

[quickdraw]

i wanted to see what else was needed before i set to work on it!!
such a not knowing about the steering bushes, so i can sort them all out at once instead of fixing bits. then it failing still and having to do another day on it

why question people when you instigate others shouldnt ?

 

[Ed]

I say this because common sense would suggest that a car in a clearly dangerous condition should not be put on the road as some of the faults you mentioned are clearly hazadous to you or other road users. Fixing the obviously dangerous faults should at least be done first.
